I probably don't count because he just got discharged a little while ago...but, once a Marine, always a Marine!

 What branch are you affiliated with? DH is a Marine

What does your family look like right now? DH, Me, and DS (15 mos)

Furbabies? 1 Dog (shih tzu), Snickers

What other boards do you post on? 12-24 months

Been through any deloyments? Thankfully, no.  I praise all of you have gone through them.  I can't imagine anything harder. However, the after effects of a combat vet aren't easy either .

You DEFINITELY belong here, it is very true, "Once a Marine, always a Marine!"

Thanks   Sometimes I feel guilty on these boards because I met DH right when he came home from Iraq.  He was in reserves after that for the next 4 years, but never had to deploy.  All I can ever be of help with is PTSD.

 But that's huge! The military (and society) needs to be more comfortable talking about PTSD. I appreciate you and am glad you're here!
